Reaction

So?

All this "understanding" was imparted in no kinda of a subtle manner Saturday PM.

What to do with it then?

Shared it with about six or seven people.

I mean, I'm excited right?

Go share with others you may think of as being receptive.

"Hey, take a guess when the stars were last aligned in the same exact manner that they are today?"

Or yesterday as I was asking people what they thought on Sunday.

Reactions varied from:

'Well the thing is you gotta be ready."

Yeah, okay, noted, but it's not the second coming were alluding to here.

Not yet anyway.

That one surprised me.

"Last night."

Nope, movin on.

"7000 years ago."

"Well that is really cool."

Two people just kinda stood slack-jawed like, 

"Are you kidding me?"

"We'll see Andrew"

Said with the biggest shit-eating grin I ever seen from somebody that I know knows :-) 

and then turns away as if to hide the smile on his face :-).

It wasn't what I had expected.

Can't they see?

Don't they know?

Aren't they believers?

Then?

Luke 8:10

"He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you..."

Luke 8:15

But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.

Revelation 2:26 anybody?

26 To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end,

The next three verses?

About lamps :-).

Remember our lampstands?

Why wouldn't the next three verses be about Lampstands :-).

A Lamp on a Stand

Luke 8:16-18

“No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. 

Therefore consider carefully how you listen. 

(See the definition of see again)

Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.”
